Thank you for pointing that out, that's very helpful! I will order some and correct that mistake. It almost seemed so obvious that the pads should go on the caps for some reason, I didn't look close enough at the picture. The good news is, since fitting the Kryosheet, the hotspot temps are...

So I have decided to go down the route of trying out a Kryosheet. I have one arriving tomorrow, so this evening I have drained my loop and stripped the card down. I will share some pictures in case it is of help to anyone, or is someone spots something amiss. Firstly I ran Timespy Extreme to...

My hotspot had a peak of 85ºC for the stock cooler after 10 minutes of Furmark so for me it has definitely got worse with this water block on it.

I am in the same boat currently. I have hotspot temps 90-100ºC even from short benchmarks. I'm not feeling great about having to strip down a hardline system and hoping for an improvement by re-pasting or using (expensive) thermal pads that may or may not work. I'm thinking of returning it for...
